Warm spring days have brought out the desire for salad, fish and chips. Although, maybe fish fingers are a bit of a stretch. I’ll be cooking Carrot chips more often in the future. Iconic Bavarian fundamentals include Bratkartoffeln, Kaiser-Semmel and cucumber salad, although this modern adaptation was with pear, rocket and parmesan.
Continuing the delicious breakfast fruit smoothy and cereal trend. Variety of open topped grilled baguette sandwiches for lunch with Leberkäse, cheese, rocket, gherkins and tomatoes. Plus peanut butter and Nutella. Lots of Lemon infused water during the day. Rosita’s Chili Mango Chicken Burrito with a Johannisbeere Schorle for dinner and a browny with vanilla ice cream and chai latte for supper.

Lidl Nut flakes with strawberries, a coconut and banana smoothy and coffee for breakfast. Multiple glasses of lemon infused water throughout the day. French toast from stale Ciabatta bread and left-over Salmon and Asparagus Penne Pasta for lunch. Salmon, rocket and red onion balsamic reduction pikelets made from left-over waffle mix for dinner. Apple and peanut butter pikelets for dessert.

Sunday waffles and coffee! A bike ride down the Isa. A Mandarin spritzes and some fries to share because someone needed glucose and someone else needed grease. A Swedish meatball snack with mushrooms, zucchini, couscous and gyros yoghurt, just for me. Penne with Asparagus and smoked Salmon for dinner. Topped off with a hot chocolate.

Warm croissants with jam and Nutella for breakfast with a coffee. Scones and Spezi for morning tea by the river. Dinner was Schupfnudeln (German Potato Pasta similar to Gnocchi) with White Saur Kraut, brussel sprouts, smoked ham, Gyros yoghurt and cracked pepper. Good preparation for the Stark Bier Fest and 2 x 0.5L of Lowenbrau’s very drinkable and dangerous 7.6% Triumphator Doppelbock (Strong Dark beer). There was also half a pretzel with obatzda (German camembert and cream cheese spread made with beer) somewhere along the way.

Liquid breakfast of banana and mango smoothy plus coffee. Mandarins throughout the day. Two bowls of one-pot broccoli, mushroom and parmesan spaghetti for lunch. Fresh baked spinach and cheese scones with cream cheese and leftover quiche for dinner and two Dunkel beers at the Bavarian Billiard Hall for dessert.
Mango and banana smoothy, coffee and nut flakes with sultana grapes for breakfast. Bread rolls with ham (Leberkase), cheese, tomato and pickles plus a slice of left-over quiche and some water for lunch. Burger with fries and salad at Mozart Cafe for dinner.
Cereal and coffee. Pea and ham soup with cheesy brown Toast. More coffee, and two chocolate cream biscuits. Three mandarins. Shared popcorn. Three slices frozen pizza with tofu salad and two glasses apple spritzer. Another chocolate cream biscuit for dessert.
Leftovers for breakfast and lunch, Brot-zeit for dinner.
Avocado is truly an amazing and delicious fruit, but I remember a time as a kid when I hated the smell, taste and feel of it. Mangoes and strawberries = dream although hardly local produce at this time of year.
A new take on the Tokyo dinner diaries. More of this to come over the next 30 days of spring in an effort to build some better eating habits and appreciation for the amazing food we have access to.
